Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) in patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) in Tianjin from 2015 to 2020.Methods:The study data were obtained from the Third Center Hospital of Tianjin, a designated sentinel hospital, from 2015 to 2020, with 1 597 SARI patients enrolled in this study. The clinical specimens of the research participants were subjected to respiratory multi-pathogen testing. HRSV-positive specimens were subtyped to analyze the differences in HRSV detection rates among cases of different age groups and periods and their mixed infection situations.Results:A total of 1 597 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected, with an HRSV detection rate of 4.20%. Among 67 HRSV-positive specimens, there were 19 pure HRSV-A nucleic acid-positive specimens, 19 pure HRSV-B nucleic acid-positive specimens and 29 mixed HRSV-A and HRSV-B nucleic acid-positive specimens. The difference in HRSV detection rate among different age groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05), and the HRSV detection rate in children under five years old was higher than that in other age groups. From 2016 to 2020, the detection rate of HRSV showed an increasing trend year by year. The HRSV detection rate of SARI cases was highest in the winter season, at 7.15%. There were 10 (14.93%) mixed positive cases for HRSV and other viruses, of which four were mixed positive for HRSV and influenza A. Conclusion:The incidence of HRSV in Tianjin exhibits an increasing trend from 2016 to 2020, peaking during the winter season, with children under five years old constituting a high-risk demographic for HRSV infection.

ObjectiveMetabolomics was utilized to investigate the preventive effect of notoginseng total saponins（NTS） on aspirin（acetyl salicylic acid， ASA）-induced small bowel injury in rats. MethodFifty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal and model groups， NTS high-dose and low-dose groups（62.5， 31.25 mg·kg^-1）， and positive drug group（omeprazole 2.08 mg·kg^-1+rebamipide 31.25 mg·kg^-1）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， rats in other groups were given ASA enteric-coated pellets 10.41 mg·kg^-1 daily to establish a small intestine injury model. On this basis， each medication group was gavaged daily with the corresponding dose of drug， and the normal group and the model group were gavaged with an equal amount of drinking water. Changes in body mass and fecal characteristics of rats were recorded and scored during the period. After 14 weeks of administration， small intestinal tissues of each group were taken for hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， scanning electron microscopy to observe the damage， and the apparent damage of small intestine was scored. Serum from rats in the normal group， the model group， and the NTS high-dose group was taken and analyzed for metabolomics by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）， and the data were processed by multivariate statistical analysis， the potential biomarkers were screened by variable importance in the projection（VIP） value≥1.0， fold change（FC）≥1.5 or ≤0.6 and t-test P<0.05， and pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites was performed in conjunction with Human Metabolome Database（HMDB） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）. ResultAfter 14 weeks of administration， the average body mass gain of the model group was lower than that of the normal group， and the NTS high-dose group was close to that of the normal group. Compared with the normal group， the fecal character score of rats in the model group was significantly increased（P<0.05）， and compared with the model group， the scores of the positive drug group and the NTS high-dose group were reduced， but the difference was not statistically significant. HE staining and scanning electron microscopy results showed that NTS could significantly improve ASA-induced small intestinal injury， compared with the normal group， the small bowel injury score of the model group was significantly increased（P<0.01）， compared with the model group， the small bowel injury scores of the NTS low and high dose groups were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum metabolomics screened a total of 75 differential metabolites between the normal group and the model group， of which 55 were up-regulated and 20 were down-regulated， 76 differential metabolites between the model group and the NTS groups， of which 14 were up-regulated and 62 were down-regulated. NTS could modulate three differential metabolites（salicylic acid， 3-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid）， which were involved in 3 metabolic pathways， namely， the bile secretion， the biosynthesis of folic acid， and the biosynthesis of phenylalanine， tyrosine and tryptophan. ConclusionNTS can prevent ASA-induced small bowel injury， and the underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of bile secretion and amino acid metabolic pathways in rats.

  Objective  To investigate the predictive value of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score combined with liver function index and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for liver metastasis of colorectal cancer.  Methods  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical treatment in the Second Hospital & Clinical Medical Hospital, Lanzhou University from January 2016 to July 2021 and were followed up for 24 months. According to the follow-up results, the enrolled patients were divided into liver metastasis group and non-liver metastasis group, and were randomly divided into modeling group and validation group by a ratio of 2∶1. The risk factors of liver metastasis in the patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed. Lasso-Logistic regression was used to construct the prediction model. Bootstrap method was used for internal verification. Receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve and clinical decision curve were used to evaluate the reliability of the prediction model. Finally, a nomogram was drawn to show the prediction results.  Results  A total of 195 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled, including 130 in the modeling group and 65 in the validation group. Through Lasso regression variable screening and Logistic regression analysis, the results showed that ALBI score(OR=8.062, 95% CI: 2.545-25.540), alanine transaminase (ALT) (OR=1.037, 95% CI: 1.004-1.071) and CEA (OR=1.025, 95% CI: 1.008-1.043) were independent predictors of liver metastasis in colorectal cancer. The area under curve (AUC) of the combined prediction of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer in the modeling group was 0.921, the sensitivity was 78%, the specificity was 95%, the C-index was 0.921, the H-L fitting curve χ²=0.851, P=0.654, and the slope of the calibration curve was close to 1, suggesting that the accuracy of the model was high, and the DCA curve showed that the model had good clinical application value. For the data of the modeling group, the Bootstrap method was used for internal verification of 1000 resamplings. The accuracy was 0.869, the kappa consistency was 0.709, and the AUC was 0.913. When ALBI score, ALT and CEA were used to diagnose liver metastasis of colorectal cancer alone, the AUC of CEA was the largest (0.897), and the combination of the three had the highest efficacy in the diagnosis of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. In the validation group, the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, C-index of the combined prediction of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer were 0.918, 85.0%, 95.6%, 0.918, respectively, and H-L fitting curve χ²=0.586, P=0.746.  Conclusions  ALBI score, ALT and CEA have certain predictive value for liver metastasis of colorectal cancer. The combined diagnosis of liver metastasis of colorectal cancer has high efficacy, and the risk prediction model constructed has a good predictive effect.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine-based anesthesia on cerebral oxygen saturation in the patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy.Methods:Fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classificationⅠorⅡpatients, aged 20-64 yr, undergoing elective total laparoscopic hysterectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=25 each) using a random number table method: conventional group (C group) and dexmedetomidine group (D group). Bilateral regoinal oxygen saturation (rSO 2) was monitored using a cerebral oxygen saturation monitor. In D group, dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused as a bolus of 0.5 μg/kg before anesthesia induction, and 10 min later dexmedetomidine was then given by an infusion of 0.5 μg·kg -1·h -1 until 30 min before the end of operation. The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in C group. The remaining anesthesia regimen was the same in two groups. The maximum (LrSO 2max, RrSO 2max) and minimum (LrSO 2min, RrSO 2min) of bilateral rSO 2 were recorded from entry to 2 min after induction (D 1), from >2 min after induction to completion of tracheal intubation (D 2), from completion of tracheal intubation to the end of skin incision (D 3), from skin incision to completion of pneumoperitoneum (D 4), from pneumoperitoneum to completion of Trendelenburg position (D 5), within 20 min of Trendelenburg position (D 6), >20-40 min of Trendelenburg position (D 7), >40-60 min of Trendelenburg position (D 8), and from >60 min of Trendelenburg position to 10 min after return to supine position (D 9). The occurrence of 60% baseline value 0.05). Compared with C group, the LrSO 2min, LrSO 2max, RrSO 2min, and RrSO 2max were significantly increased in D 4-D 8 periods in D group ( P<0.05). No bilateral rSO 2 <75% baseline value was found in group D. Conclusions:Dexmetomidine-based anesthesia can elevate intraoperative rSO 2 in the patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of preoperative fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) on the postoperative prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Methods An ROC curve was used in determining the best cutoff values of FAR and SII and then grouped. The Cox proportional hazards model was used in analyzing the prognostic factors of radical pancreatic cancer surgery, and then a Nomogram prognostic model was established. C-index, AUC, and calibration curve were used in evaluating the discrimination and calibration ability of the Nomogram. DCA curves were used in assessing the clinical validity of the Nomograms. Results The optimal cutoff values for preoperative FAR and SII were 0.095 and 532.945, respectively. FAR≥ 0.095, SII≥ 532.945, CA199≥ 450.9 U/ml, maximum tumor diameter≥ 4 cm, and the absence of postoperative chemotherapy were independent risk factors for the poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer (P<0.05). The discrimination ability, calibration ability, and clinical effectiveness of Nomogram prognostic model were better than those of the TNM staging system. Conclusion The constructed Nomogram prognostic model has higher accuracy and level of discrimination and more clinical benefits than the TNM staging prognostic model.

BACKGROUND: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. RESULTS: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). CONCLUSION: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.
